History & local legend
Moshulu is the four-masted sailing ship moored at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia, now used as a restaurant. Built in Scotland in 1904, it spent decades carrying cargo across the oceans before becoming a fixture of the city’s waterfront.
Visit Philadelphia recounts staff and owner reports of murmuring and laughter aboard the vessel when no speaker could be found. The same account includes a lantern tradition: employees arriving to open the restaurant have reportedly found lights burning after they had been put out.
